2K monitor with GTX 760

[swzeng]

Hi

So I have a GTX 760 and CPU: I7-4820K LGA 2011, is it worth the upgrade to get a 2k monitor? I play Age of Empire HD a lot and on Voobly it is supported in high resolution. Is the following worth it?

ASUS PB277Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 75Hz 1ms HDMI DVI VGA Eye Care Monitor

That's asking a lot out of that little graphics card. Generally we think of pairing 1440 monitors with cards like GTX 980/1060/1070 R9 390/x RX 580s / Volat 56 etc...

got it, but I only play age of empre (assume low requiremnt?) and mostly for work (coding). I thought this card can candle 1440 through DisplayPort according to the official site...no?

Absolutely, if you're not trying for max frames in GTA V then it should be no problem with older titles and 2D apps.

I'd personally have no issues with the benq, IPS panel, nice colors, probably needs some set up to look the way you want, but nothing wrong with the price.
